| Way too expensive compared to the amount of food and cultural info included. The only substantial food item was the slice of pizza that was served almost in the end of the tour. The tour kept us hungry to that point while the impression from the brochures was that the food tasting samples would keep the hunger away. |

Fantastic food tour

| Kate did a wonderful job explaining the food and cultural histories. She was knowledgeable and helpful. I will recommend this tour to anyone who is willing to walk a little bit.

| We were a mix of locals and visitors. We loved all of the sites and snacks on the tour and retraced our steps back to take advantage of the coupons and purchase some fun goods. It's a great way to see Chicago just hopping from store to store. We also met some very nice people from all over the world. |

| We were a mixed group ranging in age from 60 yrs to 16yrs--everyone thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Our guide (Jennifer?) had the ability to pass her knowledge and love of food and architecture on in an easy listening manner. It is obvious she loves her city and now so do we! It was good to get out of the main tourist drag and see local neighbourhoods and get get a chance to speak to locals.
I would definitely recommend the tour. |

| Thought the tour coordinator did a really good job. He definitely did his research on the Near North Chicago architecture, history and all the places that we visited. I've raved about this tour. Might consider the Bucktown / Wicker Park tour next. |

| This tour was one of the best I have ever taken. Despite the cold temperatures our tour guide (Jennifer) kept everyone engaged and involved.
I wish I could have fit in time to do the other tour offered by this group! |

| My sister and I joined 6 others for our tour of the not so usual Chicago. Our tour guide Jennifer was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Our tour lasted almost 4 hours. During the walk and at the locations, we learned so much about Chicago architecture, culture and events. We also thoroughly enjoyed the stops along the way. We highly recommend the tour and can't wait to do the Bucktown/Wicker Park tour next time in town! |

| Highly recommend! Chicago is so much more than the Magnificent Mile! Because of this tour we went back on another day and did many other things recommended by Emily, our guide! |

| This was a great way to spend a morning. I had seen this on trip advisor, and decided to book it as it sounded interesting. We luckily had a small group, and our guide Nicky was awesome- she was really friendly and was happy to answer any questions about anything. The places we visited were awesome, tried lots of different and interesting food. This was our first visit to Chicago and the tour made it even more special. Will definitely do it again next time we are visiting. Only disappointment was that due to problems with our flight, we had to do the tour on our last day, so didn't get a chance to go back to all the places we visited! When you do the tour- make sure you go on the first day! Thanks Shane and Nicky - for making it great! |
